ENGINEER BEMIS' FUNERAL
Some More Facts About the ReceD
Collision.

The funeral of Engineer L. E. Benin
was held on Sunday at the N. E
Church. The Masons took part in thu
services, as Mr.. Beemis was an honored
member of that society. Although the
day was stormy, the turn out was til.
largest ever seen at a funeral in Evans.
ton, showing the universal esteem in
which he was held by all.
When the facts come out about the
terrible collision at Echo in which this
man lost his life, his heroism is more
apparent. There seems to be no cues
ton but that the passenger train vas
running away, and had the collisionnQ
occurred, the train would have past
Echo at forty miles per hour. Tran
men who were present place the spss
OF the two engines going backwards
ten miles per hour when the passel-
ger train struck them, which increased
their speed to eighteen or twenty miles
per hour. When the fact is considered
that this passenger train should hs7.
been standing still where the collision
occurred, and also that these engineers
on the freight engines were only doing
what train men do every day, surely no
unprejudiced man can cast the first re
Election on this mans judgement. As
an old engine runner said the Other
day, it was in the power OF either msn
on the passenger engines to have stop
ped that train had they the nerve 10
give their engine steam after reversing
Continuing, said he, had Lou Bemii
succeeded in running away from this
passenger train he would have been de.
clared hero to-day" The railroad
officials seem inclined to place the
blame on the men wEo had charge Of
the passenger train, as they were yiOlat-
ing old standing orders in not stopping
at the Park City junction, aud allowing
their train to attain such a speed. The
death of l.. E. Bemis casts a gloom
over the whole community. He va;

THE LAW LECTURES.
Judge Sutherland's Second Lecture
at the University.

At the University yesterday morn
ing Judge Sutherland delivered the
second lecture OF his series. The lecture
treated of "The Common Law;" its
origin, growth, evidence, authority
and how it exists in this country, were
successfully considered. ItWas shown
that the common law is the unwritten
custom, usage, and general sense OF
justice of all people; that it did not
originally arise from any legislative
enactment; and that its present author
ity may be traced to the adoption
among the people of the principles and
maxims which observation and reason
have at all times commended as just
and correct. The common law, there
fore, is not an arbitrary thing; but
general acquiescence of the people, a
spirit for good tina pervades society, a
divinity in public life by which all
public acts are judged. 1t is the sum OF
the intelligence and virtues of the peo-
pie among whom it rises or is exercised,
being that part of customary tradl-
ton sanctioned by thought and ex
perieDce. 1t has broad application In
common justice, and is of immemorial
usage. The origin of the common
law among the Anglo Saxons was
then sketched, together with the
first historical appearance of courts
of Justice, and court officers, and the
relation of civil to ecclesiastical autho-
rity in early English periods of history.
The effect of judicial decisions, as Civ
ing notoriety and more definite autho-
rity and precision to the 'ommOn law,
wa then ref rred to. The progressive
tendency of the common law and its
adaptation to receive accessions, inn
prove ments and changes was demon
strated by numerous facts, among them
that the ancient common law was spar
ing and indefinite in treating of civil
rights and minute to excess in treat
ing of punishments. The common law
is improved in quality with the i'm
provement of the people, altered by
change in their condition and needs,
and its progress and stability insured
by two maXims:
l. Reason is the soul of the law.
and when reason ceases. the law ought
to cease"
II. ITO adhere to precedent and not
to unsettle things"
These maxims were further discussed
as constituting a safe conservatism in
legal decisions, guided, of course, by the
conscience of the community and the
needs of the times.

IN THE SNOW CASE.
The Points Decided in the Recent
Decision.
En- parte. In re Sno,O. No. 1882.
POINTS DECIDED.

Where District Court in the Terri
tory of Utah refuses to issue writ OF
habeas corpus, involving the question OF
personal freedom. an appeal lies to this
court from its order and judgment OF
refusal.
The offence of cohabiting with more
than one woman, created by Section
of the Act Of Congress of March 22d,
1882, chap. Al, (22 Stat, 31,) is con-
tinuous offence; and not one consisting
of an isolated act.
Snow was convicted separately, III a
District Court of the Territory OF Utah,
on three indictments under that sec
ton, covering together a continuous
period of time, each covering differ
part, but the three parts being contlnu-
Gus, the indictments being found at the
same time, by the same Grand Jury,
on one oath, and one examination of the
same witnesses, covering the whole
continuous time. One judgment was
entered on the three convictions. 1t
first imposed a term of imprisonment
and a fine. 1t next imposed two fui-
Their successive terms of imprisonment,
each to begin at the expiration of the
last preceding sentence and judgment
with two further fines. 1t set forth the
time embraced by each indictment, and
specified each of the three punishments
as being imposed in respect of speci-
fed one of the indictments. On petit
ton to District Court of the Territory
by the defendant. for writ of habeaS
corpus, setting forth that he had
been imprisoned under the judg-
ment for more than the term first
imposed, and paid the fine first imposed,
and that the other two punishments
were in excess of the authority of the
trial court, the writ WAS refused. An
appeal to this court: held,
There was but one entire offence
for the continuous time
2.-The trial court had no. jurisdic-
ton to inflict punishment in respect
of more than one of the convictions.
3-As the want of jurisdiction ap-
peared on the face of the proceedings,
the defendant could be released from
imprisonment on habedS corpus.
4.-The order and judgment of the
court below must be reversed, and the
case demanded to that court, with a
direction to grant the writ Of habeGs
corpus prayed for.

Another Year of the Manhattan


The annual statement of the Man
haitian Life Insurance Company, which
appears in another column of this
paper, reflects the general improve
ment in business during the past year.
An increase in the net assets, in the
volume OF insurance written, in the
income, and general strengthening of
the lines in all directions, are features
which will clearly appear to anyone
interested to make the comparison with
the statement of one year ago. The
patrons of the Manhattan have by
such long and mistaken experience be-
come so thoroughly accustomed to this
state of affairs, that they will find little
that is new or surprising in this re-
port. Doubtless the even tenor of
steady growth and mistaken integrity
will amply compensate for the absence
of the excitement of brilliant" expert
ments or risky ventures in uncertain
fields. The administration of the new
president of the Manhattan, Mr.. James
NJ. Mclean, is characterized by the
same conservative judgment and
sound policy which have made the
record and position of the company so
uniformly creditable to it's officers and
satisfactory to all its patrons.-San
Francisco Exchange.

sickness in the Country,

Reports from the country indicate that
there is at this time more than the usual
amount of sickness prevailing. Most oi
these troubles seem to arise from an i'm
pure condition of the blood, caused by
an excessive secretion of bile. This
causes fevers of q bilious character, and
we regret t., say tilat in some places il
has prpNcI very fatal. Ne therefore
offer this .raaiitnHS advise to those moi
yet afflicted. Keep your liver in a
healthy condition and your blood rich
and pure Gocd blood means good
health, whilst ''ad blood bad health

THE WORKING OF CosvIcrs.

THE WORKING OF CoNvIcTs.
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch, speaking of the bill
pending relating to the working of con-
victs on the public roads, say:
GAS passed it provides that any convicts
under sentence for terms of ten years OF
less may, upon application of the coun-
ties from whence they were sentenced
be furnished by the penitentiary and
put at work upon the public roads, upon
the condition that the counties making
such application shall pay for the support
of such convicts, and shall prepare suit
able and safe quarters for them. The
bill takes effect from the day of its
ratification, and does not apply to con-
Victs now in the penitentiary. Never
theless it will result in two or three years
in causing great thinning out.of con-
Victs, and in very little time only. long
term convicts and desperate criminals
will be left in the penitentiary. The
senators from the eastern counties press.
